Most likely, not much room in the back. When you want to do it? I'll bring beer and food!

This was not the first mod I wanted to do to my truck but since I cracked up the front bumper it was a logical one. Happy with the quality and fit...plus it looks a bit meaner...Lexi has a lil more tude now..lol

Replaced the front shackle bushings in the 25 today. The old bushings had to be torched out. Parts are bead blasted and painted. I also fixed the mirror arm telescoping nut holder thingy. The bolt broke off at some point in the last 51 years. I tried drilling it out but in the end I had to grind off the nut and weld a new one on. Blasted it and will paint it tomorrow.

Finally fabbed up hinges for my drivers seat frame and welded up the cracked tubing. I also adjusted the seat back angle to be a little more driver friendly. Windshield gasket arrived so the glass is going back in next.

Did my oil pan gasket for the 3rd time. First time was a 4 piece cork aftermarket unit that fell apart. second was a toyota one-piece but the back end was leaking. this time I got the toyota one again and used some gasket goo to seal it all up. Nothing like trial and error.

Started making another door panel. Got 90% of it cut out and mess up the last 8 inches of the cut. scrapped it. need better wood to work with.

Sanded down and painted the inside of the drivers door. Not much is exposed but what is there was covered with a bedliner type material. not fun on the forearms. sanded, 3 coats of sandable primer and 4 coats of rattle-can stain black. Looks fantastic! Doing the whole interior soon.

On a side note- got an Infiniti G35 from the auto auction today. My cousin grabbed it for about half of what the book value is currently. Glad that a little luck is going my way!
